Christmas Cookies
150 grams butter
1 egg
300 grams dark brown sugar
500 grams plain flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees celsius and grease or line a cookie tray.
Cream the butter and sugar together, then mix in the eggs and the spices.
Add the flour gradually, until it is quite a solid dough. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Keep on kneading the flour in until it has all been incorporated, and the dough is stiff and shiny.
Roll the dough out until it is about 5 mm thick and cut it into shapes. Place on trays and bake each tray for 15 minutes.
1 egg white
250 grams icing sugar
Colours
Sift the sugar over the egg white and mix it into a thick paste. Separate into bowls and add different colours.
Pipe the icing around the edges of the cookies, let it harden a little, and then fill in the centers.
